My mum had the brilliant (not) idea of night training S while I was down the coast. Cue 4 days of soaked bed linen. I gave up on the 4th night when she'd wet the bed by 10:15 and was still dead asleep.

So, should I be pushing the issue? She's 3yo 2mo and has been day trained for 8 months. Mum & MIL both said she'll keep weeing in her nappy as long as she's wearing it and has to learn to stay dry. Whereas I'd heard from various sources that she'd become dry in her own time and I should wait till she had consistently dry nappies in the morning. (Currently her nappies are very heavy in the morning).

I'd be happy to try Mum's method again starting February but thought I'd get other opinions first.

DS was waking up soaked still, one night when he was 2.5 he decided he didn't want to wear a nappy to bed anymore (he'd been day trained for about 5 months) we went with it and didn't have too many wet nights, we used a brolly sheet knock off which gave me confidence. So for us waking up dry was irrelevant.

I had to push the issue a little bit... she day trained at 2.5 years and then at about 3 years 4 months I tried her without night nappies, even though she was sometimes wet in the morning still. I think she was just weeing when she woke up at that stage though. I wouldn't push the issue if she has woken up wet the last 4 nights though.

My little girl has been day trained for over 12 months now but still wakes up with a wet nappy in the morning. Seems as though she wees in her sleep. I'm planning to wait till she starts waking up dry.

We're doing this at the moment. DS trained day at 2 and was in night nappies since. But then I woke him up early one morning and his nappy was dry and he had a massive tanty about taking it off before he'd wee'd in it. So at that point I knew he was mostly night dry, but saving his morning wee for his nappy, then taking it off.

Needless to say night nappy went. It's been 2 weeks and he's pee'd the bed about 50% of the time and have 3 dry nights in a row (please don't have just jinx'd myself!)

At the end of it, it's your child, your sleep lost changing wet beds... if you don't think they're ready then don't do it yet.
